Imagine thinking your opponent is good because he is taking quite some time to make moves but in actuality he is dissecting and carefully explaining how he is going to utterly destroy you.

[@tirth_thakkar]

😂😂

[@mrcat5508]

You mean bad right?

[@LilBigHuge]

bad*

[@chuckf4899]

Busch gas robbed again

[@John-sv4jb]

Players that bad don't think

[@kennyhuang5611]

You are not playing too slow. To learn about your thinking process is very helpful for us beginners to improve :)

[@EroticPlatypus]

It's also like a never ending chess puzzle with a right answer that you keep getting hints for in real time. Nelson explaining this stuff is forcing it into my mind to where I hear him talking when trying to find a move to play

[@romanb.8420]

Best strategy: Take your time and your opponents get bored and resign LMAO

[@Amit_meena19]

This happens alot to me and it is frustrating

[@timm439]

Yeah, those players should probably play blitz so they can just lose faster.

[@Ak_Draws_]

Lol chess players have good patience level Only newbies have no patience in chess but they will develop this skill soon

[@billebrooks]

I try this strategy all the time, but then I just lose on time.

[@HughJarsol]

Don’t change Nelson. I’m learning so much from you talking through your thought process. People should watch different channels if they just want to watch people playing. But I don’t know how much they’re going to get from it compared to your channel.

[@Reddog-ig2ee]

As a 57 yr old beginner to daily chess , I greatly appreciate your videos and live streams where you go over everything . I’m still struggling to not blunder but am having a blast

[@Studydikmotivation]

Nice sir 😊

[@0_0faizan]

Everyone who's following rating climb please like the video also so that it reaches more audience and the channel grows faster. It's literally free to like...

[@Blaxmoke]

13:00 whats funny is, in lower ratings this stuff is so common which why people also struggle with just opening theory/studying some openings, they have to adept whats going on and I love that you show these games and explain your moves since thats so instructive! Others just punish mistakes without actually explaining why its bad or how you could go down the line with these type of positions, you're doing a great job Sir!

[@RSarosdy]

You are not talking too much! Your explanation of each game piece by piece is super helpful. And I love it when you get down to 1:00 or less and then say "I'm going to have to speed up a bit now" and then find a checkmate in four or five moves that you make in less than 11 seconds!

[@jessegamez4216]

Keep talking! I love these videos and I’m stoked you brought this series back. I started playing chess in March and I’ve hit as high as 950. I find so much value in your channel and it is now at the top of my subs!

[@andrewbennett5911]

More great lessons , thank you ! Looking forward to July 15th , think I'll have plenty to get my teeth into 😀

[@locke_ytb]

To me personally, I think Mr. Nelson Lopez is like a beginner-friendly version of Daniel Naroditsky. It's nice.

[@stevemotocrayz2892]

Very well said..! Great comparative observation ; I wholeheartedly agree 👍💯🎉.!!

[@bucketspree4952]

I actually happened upon a Naroditsky video the other day, and it seemed like i was able to follow some of what he was saying but yeah, quite advanced, lol Very interesting comparison 😊

[@danielyuan9862]

​@@bucketspree4952a lot of times I watch Nelson because I enjoy the satisfying games, but with Naroditsky I sometimes feel like I'm opening my third eye

[@honestliar42]

Discovered this channel a few months ago , rating grew , still growing, don't ever stop mahn I appreciate what you teach🎉😊

[@n312f]

10:43 "I don't see any immediate tactics" There's Qe4 ;)

[@mohammadsulieman6213]

Amazing Qe4

[@MitchKarajohn]

Resigning because the opponent "takes too long" is so stupid 😅. I mean, sorry for using his 10 minutes? Play bullet if you want fast

[@sliderulelover]

Hi Nelson, I think you do an extremely well job in doing your explanations for your moves and the opponent's moves. The time you take explaining is well spent. You are an excellent teacher.

[@user-yu3qv7yw2e]

I wholeheartedly agree!

[@MartianOccupier]

This is the most helpful series I've seen. 👍 Thanks so much for making it so detailed!

[@Patch223]

i love this series thank you for really breaking down each move how you do it’s helping me tremendously!

[@davidtomkinson3845]

Thank you so much for this series. It's helping me so much the way you are explaining everything

[@hilarycraig5360]

Nelson I am so thankful for you, I learned so much from your old rating climb and now I am kinda strong!

[@LukasZangerl]

Nelsi, you're doing a really great thing!!!!!!! I'm watching your videos from Austria and love them!!!!!!! Thank you sooooooo much for the great content and helping me, to really improve in chess!!!!!!!

[@marief8014]

Finally new climb rating videos! Could you always explain the brilliant move? For example in 48:48? Also, i have suggestion for opening Queen Gambit, King's indian defense, and Caro-kann? Queen gambit is very interesting in lower elo and 1000+ elo. In lower elo they mostly accept the gambit and defense the pawn with the b5. It just funny. I hate play as a black cause I have to follow(react) white ideas opening. However, King's indian always a good defense for black and i like it. If i tired playing passive, i like to play caro-kann cause it is kinda aggressive. Also, i wish you do some quick explanation for each opening that you will use so we could learn more about it. I know that it is easy just to check the internet, yea that's true but i just like the way you explain.

[@AdamtheRed-]

I appreciate you taking time and explaining your moves, Nelson! I'll use that boredom strat against my 550 opponents, too. 😀

[@Reza090]

Very helpful stuff man thanks very much. Love your rating climbs.💯💯💯

[@Blaxmoke]

Opening Suggestion: White pieces > Queen's Gambit Black Pieces > King's Indian Defence (I've played alot of Queens gambit trough my climb to 1500 and for black I've always wanted to try the KID but I personally find it difficult to play so maybe you could help out explaining it a bit If it may occur, as always take care, hope you and your family is up well!

[@tessa8230]

Good morning Nelson! 😊 So excited to see more Speedrun content! Would love to see you pull off the Englund Complex for giggles.

[@southernrun9048]

Very helpful video to have you go through your thought process during the games

[@michaeljohnson8353]

@48:42 that’s one of my best strategies 😂😂😂😂

[@OnRappel]

Your channel is sooo good! Such good info.

[@lezracolrus7312]

There is also a different mate in 4 available as well, the one I found was Rook D4, (King C5), Pawn B4, (King B6), Rook D5, (King A6), Rook A5 Checkmate

[@Flower-cu5li]

I love that you take your time explaining every move. It’s super helpful

[@bennyaiizen8733]

Cool Video, watching the whole series, nice and chill ❤

[@dpgsince85]

love these videos and the time control. great way of explaining everything on the fly

[@JesseSteinfort]

This series is amazing. Keep it up!

[@gusserflys]

super instructive.. your opponents can always find a fast game if they want.... also should realize this is INSTRUCTIVE ..playing a NM...lol ...anyways thank you Nels

[@bishon_paul]

I have learnt a lot from your videos. Your explanations are amazing ❤

[@andrewbennett5911]

Thank you , more great lessons 😊

[@anthonyragan2696]

If an opponent resigns because you're "taking too long," I have to wonder why he's playing a ten-minute game and not bullet.

[@UnrevisedHatbox]

I'd love to see your take on the Danish gambit! You're definitely not playing too slow, hearing your thought process has helped me tremendously with mine.

[@KempoSensei]

I find your content to be among the best for learning the right way to think in game. I really like the way you explain your thought process in this series.

[@arassemiaktas8075]

I think you missed a double threat on 10:40 right after you said no immediate tactics

[@nhn05]

Can you tell me what's the double threat is?

[@arassemiaktas8075]

​@@nhn05 Queen to e4

[@lewisr1353]

Very good teacher, Nelson. Thank you.

[@carrija]

so many players bring out their queen early against me still, i'm going to remember that queen trap

[@mam.654]

I love how you explain.

[@WiggTheMobileBarbR]

Perfect timing. I need this lesson!

[@michaelallport5816]

Very instructive-Thanks. Opening suggestion: Stonewall System, works in white and black😊

[@BahamutDX]

Really excited for the course! This will be a great birthday present for me :D

[@arrowofkira5658]

Great episode as always! I'd like to suggest again the Glek-system for white, it seems interesting and basically nobody plays it so it might be the secret hot sauce we all were waiting for 😅

[@ethanrigopoulos]

Nelson thank you for the great chess videos. I just started in February and your videos skyrocketed my elo from 800 to 1400. I'm Looking forward to trying your course for players trying to get to 1500, keep making awesome videos!

[@jerealamos]

thanks man! I've learned more from you than any other chess streamer. POLISH OPENING PLEASE!!!

[@kylem1398]

I love that you take long and explain each move.

[@itaymoshe1585]

I agree, that's the whole point of me watching - learning TY nelson, ur a great teacht

[@eirikraude854]

HI, and thank you very much!:) It is so realaxing to come into the world of chess, where rationality still resides, and I can have peace and a break from all the craziness going on right now! :) 👍👍👍

[@iainbishop1126]

Hi Nelson, could you please show me a couple of openings - the Halasz McDonnell Gambit and the Caro Kann. Thanks so much!

[@danneskjoldr]

At 44:43 I think bishop d6 would be best. If he threatens mate, you check, no matter how he avoids you'll win the queen. And depending how he defends king check you'll either lose equal amount of pieces or you'll win one more even with queen

[@SydPulver]

Nelson, You're speed is just right for me. I'm learning a lot! Syd

[@farmersix4434]

Never considered paying for chess lessons, these videos have helped me so much but you know what, let’s try your 1500 course, im 1200 currently but do beat my mate who’s 1700-1900 occasionally (different time controls) 😅 would love to get to 1500tho, and support my favourite KZbin chess guy too 😁

[@ChessVibesOfficial]

Appreciate that!

[@Blaxmoke]

Woho! Finally a Scotch Gambit glad to see it happening after so many attempts, much love Nelson! Hopefully people can get some ideas for this cheeky opening.

[@stevek2340]

What's the benefit of Scotch Gambit?

[@doublejd4719]

@chessvibe been enjoying learning have noticed by taking the scotch gambit was stuck on colle but now have seen a big difference in my play.

[@MrLloydGr]

this is a great vid But what is Rice on the score card

[@nyny]

I went from 550 to 700 after just watching 4 of your videos over the last couple days. Seriously! I had been to 750 once before for a few days before dropping down to ~500 again, that time was after watching Pia Cramling explain some openings and ways of thinking! I guess i respond well to instructive watching. (to be fair, I stayed in 500 range to experiment a lot and to try to recognize some patterns)

[@mazeradeville2911]

@8:00 What was wrong with Ne5? Since the bishop now blocks the king's only escape square, doesnt it add a new checkmate threat on f7 forcing c3 and winning a rook since the black knight can't go to h6 to defend due to the pawn move?

[@landroverlover11]

I listen to all you say boss, it helps me a lot.

[@mikel3572]

Love these videos, 600 is my elo so super helpful!

[@cyrdach7578]

On 33:49 it looks like after Bd6 and forced Qxd6, then Ne4 is a fork on the queen, right?

[@WyZtIx]

34:00, I would have go with bishop D6. Queen has to take back or it's a free piece. Then Knight E4 is a fork with the queen and I don't see any way black can prevent. Not a free piece, but a pretty nice trade.

[@Ascrumble]

Was screaming this too

[@kingra2650]

I've grown so much as a player since watching your vids, I reached over 1600 for the first time last week after being stuck in 1300's last year. Thank you

[@marcwright9442]

“OH !!! Never mind !!” . One thing we ALWAYS get with Nelly is honest responses !! 😂

[@Naikonul]

at 5:26 when deciding where to move the queen, wasn't bishop to b5 a move and then queen to a4?

[@KK-sm7cv]

10:49 battery with queen to e4. Has to take the pawn or you win both rooks or checkmate. If takes pawn you gain a bishop. If moves pawn c6 to stop the rook threat then checkmate with queen takes bishop on e7.

[@gamingdust3r979]

Nelson casually grabbing brilliant moves but doesnt show 😣. Show them nelson!!

[@NJDJ1986]

@37:50 ooof pawn checkmate is a brutal & humiliating checkmate for black's king! GG!

[@oklart0727]

I would love to see the London system or the Caro-kann defense❤

[@shahmatsimplex4144]

This reminds me of the games I played back in the 70s in junior high.

[@robertferrill6009]

In game 2 when the bishop had you in check defended by the knight your opponent was looking for you to move your king to the corner to fork the rook and queen.

[@clarklk]

If 4 ... h6 is not a good move for black, what is a better move to stop 5. Ng5?

[@seedtree3663]

could you please play the Vienna gambit or just any Vienna variation please

[@hishamhamed5033]

I have a question. In the First game (10:36): how about Qe4 instead of Nc3? That would fork the rook and the Bishop on e7, which would now be attacked twice. Simultaneously you'd be threatening Qxe7#

[@dragoniousmaximus7304]

Best teacher out there, I'm struggling over here at 500, i feel like a dipship

[@-LUUK-]

I watched your other rating climb. Helped me develop allot. Then 400 now 1617

[@Alex-ui3kk]

Love the series. And you are not playing to slow

[@Demian_R]

48:38 "The Long Winded Gambit" Brilliant!! 😄

[@Mark-dj4zr]

What does 'rice' stand for in the stats box?.

[@galaxygamer3591]

Could u maybe make videos about finding checkmates?

[@djangohill55]

That "boredom resignation" is a very powerful tactic, but it never works when I play it😢. They always play something else 😂😂😂

[@chucktowne]

38:55 isnt rook A4 checkmate? Or rook going anywhere on the 3rd rank except next to the King?

[@sizex1966]

Keep explaining its how we learn! Guidance Mannerz Respect 1Love Balance

[@ramoth7333]

Against the center game, once they play Qe3, I like to play b6 to prepare not only to fianchetto my light squared Bishop, but also to play bc5 gaining tempo on the Queen. I'll consider long castle depending on the position.

[@Chomta]

Video on Sicilian defense!

[@aaawman2280]

The explaining has helped me with the AI I normally play against, but AI is rough for me, it's way more knowledgeable and plays many moves ahead.

[@markv3541]

Honestly the biggest takeaway i always have looking at you play chess is keeping it simple. I always go like oh there must be some tactic after this move, or this plan is great so lets just go for it and im getting in some very complicated positions and end up making mistakes. I noticed you always make moves that lead you into the plans instead of planning to make moves if you understand what i mean. And somehow that makes it so you get into way easier positions than i always end up in.

[@AKAMustang]

In a similar vein to the openings you're trying to show, I'd like to see: Centre Game: Kieseritzky Variation

[@thevanburensupernova]

try the Vienna gambit!

[@avalikesinemine]

Try Jobava London next :😊

[@BinkuSama]

How do you get 500s that actually play like 500s? All my opponents play 24 best moves in a row with no blunders.

[@poolzokka]

10:45min. Qe4, threatening the rook and the bishop looks like a good tactic to me. 😉

[@LukasZangerl]

Could you make a 500K-special? That's something to celebrate!

[@CNCTEMATIC]

can you play the London System?

[@Chewy_GarageBandDad]

It is insane that I feel like I think for 10 seconds in between moves and feel pressured. I’m running out of time yet. My guy and most other content. Creators can talk at length in between moves and have plenty time. Of course, my endgame sucks.

[@peterdarby1445]

First game, instead of Nc3, Qd4 was a double attack on the bishop and a8 rook

[@socasack]

I feel bad for your opponents thinking they are playing a 600

[@mrihjannerejschn6146]

If you play chess being impatient (like some of the opponents here) you'll never get very far. Imho, impatience is one of the worst character traits you can have. It deprives you of so much opportunities for success, not only in chess.
